who's addicted to crawdadin?

[Southpole]

Can I find these litte devils pretty much anywhere? I never had them here.
Lake Sammamish? Lake Washington? Do they live there?

I don't see why not.

Look for a more rocky shoreline.....I've see/caught squat where there is mainly silt.

That's where we made sure to drop our pots, somewhere rocky or around somekind of structure. It worked out well.

guess i cannot complain for my first run

No bad KC, keep lurking around test pots in the water your fishing and you well find the glory hole...   bait them up and let soak for about 4 hrs, they say dark is the best, i have to disagree... I think smackdead in the middle of the day when its hot out is the best, dump the pot where the sun is shinning right down on your pots and you can see the mudbugs all around your pot its pretty cool... dont let soak for to long cause they well get out...

Hey Carl, about Beaver Lk having crawfish. I heard there's the Louisiana reds in there? They were put in there years ago illegally . If you do run some test pots let us know if its true? Thanks.

Huntincouple,

I'll try and get over there and drop my pot while I fish. I'll let you know what turns up.

will get out

ok good to know!. we tried a better spot with HUGE rocks all over the bank, lots of cover, saw big ones all over, tried catfood on a 10 hr soak all nite, NOT ONE. catfood was not a good choice.

That's frustrating investing time like that to get skunked, I've been there. I would try a couple different types of bait in each pot. I did cat food & smelt in one pot and salmon and cat food in another. It's a good thing I did that, because the cat food didn't work so hot but the smelt did, there was nothing left of the smelt and the pot was packed. I would try some kind of fish and maybe some chicken? Now, the million dollar question. When a guy finally finds a bait that works, will it work in other lakes as well? Hhuummm...

[Kc_Kracker]

yep im going back to salmon heads 

[Southpole]

yep im going back to salmon heads 

Elkpiss mentioned herring working well too, you might try that if you could get a hold of some.

[Kc_Kracker]

thats what caught the first batch  i had 2 in the freezer left over. time ti dig int my crab bait freezer, i got herring, salmon heads, i just gave BearHunter a 18 lb pork butt for bait, and lots of rainbows i dont ever eat  going to try again tonight i have a spot picked out on the Cedar
